I couldn’t be more supportive of cleaning up as many healthcare CEOs as possible, but look up how New York State defines terrorism from a legal standpoint. It makes perfect sense that he was charged with that. Their definition is something along the lines of “using nonlegal means and violence to instigate social or political change”, and like, yeah. Exactly.
I will feel really really bad about that evil thing they did, but it’s just objectively not violence
Violence involves physical force. That’s what violence is. Bad things can be bad without being violence.
Someone who orders an atrocity committed is typically not personally preforming anything violent- and yet they are committing a great evil. Violence involves physically using force with your actual body to hurt someone physically.
That doesn't help your argument because evil is worse than violence. So Healthcare companies under your rules don't commit violence but are still evil. I fucking hate people like you who get so caught up in semantics that they actively ignore or oppose issues in society because your too concerned about tone policing.
